" f IMPROVEMENT IN PLOUGHS.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, T. E. C. BRrNLY, of Louisville, in the county of Jefferson, and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ploughs; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full,

clear, and exact description specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View` 4Figure 2 is a transverse section of the beam and attachment.

Figure 8 is a plan, the plough being represented as lying upon its side.

The same letters are employed in allthe figures when designating identical parts.

This improvement consists in the mode of attaching the beam to the plough.

A. is the land-side, to which the mould-board is attachedin the manner set forth in a former patent granted to me. The braces B B extending upward from the land-side are attached to a socket-plate, C, which encloses fthe beam D on three sides, the land-side, braces, and socket being cast in one piece. The beam is secured in the socket by bolts passing through them. The forward bolt F passes through a lug, C", extending upward from the lower plate of the socket against the fourth side of the beam. Flanges C extend diagonally across the socket to receive the handle E. The handles are attached by means of bolts passing from side to side.

The handle E' is curved slightly outward. The handle E is longer than the handle E, and bent at a greater `angle outwardly so that the ploughman may walk directly behind the plough. A Y

What I claim as my invention, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, vis

1. The mode of attaching the beam D to thevploughs, by' al socket, C, connected with the land-'side by braces B B, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination of the socket C, constructed with diagonal flanges C', the handles, and the beam, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof,I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
